Bro dont do that! I originally used coffee bag for my Purigen. At first I was sure it will work as well. The Purigen beads doesn't seem to seep through the bag. So I placed it in my canister filter. On day 2, I was kia-si, so I opened my canister to check, all still good. But 1 week later I opened, the bag broke. I tell I had such a hard time salvaging it because it was so small and it was ALL OVER the place, in my ceramic rings, sponge etc. I guess the coffee bag was not strong enough to endure being soaked for such a long time under strong a current.
And if you think using a very thick coffee bag could produce a better result, it won't. That's because I'm already using a a proper micron bag now, with not very good water contact results with the Purigen. So using a thick coffee bag will further more decrease the effectiveness of using Purigen as water will not be able to swiftly flow through it.
